About High Road Heating & Cooling:
It’s more than just our company name, it’s our business philosophy. At High Road Heating & Cooling Co., we take the “high road” by always giving honest straight-forward advice to our diverse range of customers, and by making them our top priority day or night.
And it’s paid off, as our team of NATE-certified repair technicians replace, maintain, install and repair residential and light commercial heating and cooling systems, we have continued to grow our operations while enduring recessions and maintaining an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
What started many years ago in a small storage space and a home office with only three employees has since grown, and we couldn’t be more proud of what we have accomplished. But we never lose sight of what sets us apart, our “high road” commitment to protecting our customers’ comfort, their health, and their home.

Our Families were looking to connect with other like-minded individuals and groups. As we were meeting over coffee discussing ideas the answer was right in front of us, (COFFEE) the universal connector. What better way to change the world than to embrace peoples love of coffee. Let’s make the daily ritual of having a few couple cups of coffee actually make a massive difference in the world. We wanted to be a socially responsible coffee that would not only taste amazing and optimize ones health but would also positively impact the families that work to supply our coffee from the farm to the table all while protecting our planet.
